What common condition can be treated using scabicides?

Scabicides are specifically formulated medications designed to eliminate scabies, which is a skin condition caused by infestation with the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. Scabies leads to intense itching and a rash due to the body’s allergic reaction to the mites and their eggs. The use of scabicides effectively targets this infestation, killing the mites and providing relief from symptoms.

The other conditions listed do not involve a parasitic infestation requiring scabicides for treatment. Psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis are various types of skin conditions, often related to inflammation or immune responses, rather than an infestation by parasites. Each requires different treatment approaches, such as topical steroids or emollients, rather than scabicides.
